WINDOW-BANE HOLDER;

Application filed. March 29, 1924. Serial No. 702,848.

My invention relates to a new and useful improvement in a window pane holder and has for its object the provision of a metallic strip adapted for supporting a strip of plastic material and having its ends embedded in the plastic material so that the strip may be used with a window for retaining the window pane in operative position on the window frame so that the putty or plastlc material is used to securely seal the space between the edge of the pane and the frame and at the same time eliminate the necessity of tabs or other securing means necessary for holding the pane in position while applying the putty.

I am aware that other devices have been originated in which a strip of metal is used as a retaining member for the putty or plastic material but the present invention consists in mounting the putty or plastic material on the metallic strip which may be nailed on the window frame and serve to retain the putty or plastic material in sealing position on the window without bringing the metal strip into contact window pane or the window frame. The invention consists in the combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

The invention will be best understood by a reference to the accompanying; drawings which form a part of this specification and in which Fig. 1 is a fragmentary perspective view of the invention 'mounted on a window frame.

Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional view of the invention showing it applied to the window frame. I

Fig. 8 is an elevational view of the window frame showing the invention'applied.

The invention is adapted for use with a window frame having side rails 7 and end rails 8 notched out as at 9 to provide a seat for a window pane 10 which is mounted in a window frame. A metallic st ip ll which is made preferably from a copper strip, is provided with inturned ends 12 and 13 which are. embedded in putty let so that a strip of metal is provided having the putty or plastic material attached thereto This strip may then be cut to the desired lengths and placed against the cut out portion 9 and the window pane 10 and secured by nails with either the V ing in of the aiiixing means serves to spread the putty outwardly along the portions 16 and 17.

The ends of the strips which are used for the various sides of the frame over-lap so that only one of the ends is diagonally cut, the front end being cut square. This permits a ready mounting ofthe strips upon the window without the mitre out being present and an effective and simple closure is provided for sealing the window frame with the window pane.

While I have illustrated and described the preferred form of structure I do not wish to limit myself to the precise formof structure shown but desire to avail myself of such variations and modifications as come within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure byLettersPatent is 1. A window pane holder of the class described comprising a metallic strip having angularly inturned edges embedded in a strip of plastic sealing material, adapted for engaging the win-dow pane and lying between the same and said metallic strip.

2. A window pane holder of the classdescribed comprising, a strip of plastic sealing material adapted for use in sealing a window pane in a frame, said plastic material being adapted for engaging at one side said window pane and, at the opposite side, said window frame; and a metallic strip having its linear edges angularly turned and directed inwardly toward each other and embedded in said plastic material, said plastic material lying between one edge of said strip and said window frame and lying between the opposite edge of said strip and said window pane, said metallic strip being free from contact with said window frame and said window pane when mounted thereon.

In testimony whereof I have signed the 1 foregoing speclfication.
